I agree with Aquagold, the more drawings etc. you can give us the better!
Also, can you get any photos of the area you're doing this?

[natapa]

Is there anyway Natapa that you can put your ideas into a drawing format for us to look at and then talk about some of the enviromental factors?

i drew a plan but it is changing while talking about.Now i am working for horizontal scrubber.now my plan is like that:
1-i will give new water which can fill the pond at 5,7 days.
2-i will dig a sump pond and i will circulate all the water in the pond at one or two hours
3-i will use 2 filter system.ats and a different filter.in the day light each of them will work.in the night i will close the scrubber.(if it will decrease the o2)
now i am looking for a filter system which can complement to scrubber.i don't like mechanical filters.i want to construct an living, dynamic ecology.green plants are good for nutrients but photosynthesis is problem at nights.what is your opinion.

i am thinking something like that

Looks good, those ATS trays are going to have to be huge to cope with that water volume, what country do you live in, do you get enough direct sunlight?
And go take a photo of the field, I want to see where it's all going

[natapa]

i am living in Turkey.Near the Greece islands.climate is very good.always sunny if somebody come on a visit. Field is empty now there isn't something interesting but i can take some photos

[natapa]

is the photosynthesis occurs in the water or in the air with the Water Hyacinth or marsh grasses

I am at a loss as to why you are not considering lighting some screen at night to prevent dropping O2 levels? A lot of large aquariums do this specifically to artificially increase the system's effective volume.

Many aquarists use counter period lighting for their refugiums for exactly the same reason.

Not only does this help the O2 levels it also reduces the CO2 levels since all plants respire CO2 during their dark periods.

one side of scrubber is 490 feet length.it must be big cost at the beginning.if i use the lights periodic i must carry them at midnight every day.and i must tidy up them in the morning because of their shadows.i will search for the cost but i am not hopeful for prices.

AH.. I see your problem more clearly now. Thanks for the clarification.

You could consider sodium street lights. They could be off to the side. Still a lot of surface.

is it enough for algae growing
